How to Drink Really Cheaply This Summer: Five Cent Cocktails at BFB Highline

Well, this sounds like a recipe for some serious midweek Meatpacking debauchery: BFB Highline (55 Gansevoort Street) is running a five cent cocktail special from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday nights all summer long.

During what the establishment is calling Owl's Hour, you can buy yourself a freshly brewed cocktail from Owl's Brew, a company that makes mixers from tea, for just one shiny nickel. Look for drinks made with Coco-Lada, a black tea blend with chai spices, coconut, and pineapple juice; the Pink & Black, a Darjeeling hibiscus strawberry base; and The Classic, English breakfast with lemon and lime.
